20RC28M Dioptase
Mindouli Area, Pool Dept., Republic of Congo
4.0x 3.8x 1.0 cm
$375
A great example of dioptase from Mindouli. This piece comes from a small lot that had distinct, more elongated crystals. Most dioptase from the area tends to be somewhat closely clustered, but the pieces from his pocket were rather pleasantly spread out. There is minor quartz overgrowth.
